About sister swimmer:
In emerging artist sister swimmer’s new EP, “The Horizon Line Swallowed Us Whole,” the boundary between dream and memory fizzles and sputters, dissolves into a hum of static. In the inevitable natural disaster of experience—did you forget your body, again? Do we trust the vessel that carries us forward? Is it really love or did you just want to feel safe? Between the lines of the songs written by Britt Amborn, there’s a salve to turn emotional injury into relational fortitude, as a tool to move forward from her own obsessions with worry and place and longing and what stories the body claims for keeps. At the heart of the project lies a fierce commitment to collaboration. With production by Nick Ward, and fellow Seattle artists Mike Vernon Davis and Jeremiah Moon lending a hand, an indie rock foundation blends into a cinematic landscape wavering between dream pop, countrygaze, and folktronica.
“The Horizon Line Swallowed Us Whole” is a distorted and curious investigation into what detaches self from story. Delving into the dark mythologies we construct around memory and our lived-in experiences, sister swimmer blurs the lines between poetic nuance and melody, present-minded romanticism and nostalgia-drenched escapism, and sets the scene where a glowing, beckoning horizon line (a want to be present to the body and tender with its history) is an ever-shifting daydream, a worthy pursuit.
